Hi everyone! I work at a library and I’m working on a display I call “uber reads” basically I put each book in a paper lunch bag and staple a “receipt” to each bag that has a list of 3 things each book is about. For example when I did it last year I had one for “11/22/63” by Stephen King and the 3 descriptors were “Timeloop, Suspense, Nostalgia”.
I can, of course, come up with a ton for genres I read but I want to be able to cater to all our patrons so I’m hoping y’all can help me out! Give me your favorite books and 3 simple “descriptors” that you think would entice someone to read it! They don’t have to be one word either. I used small phrases like “small town New England” “fairy tale retelling” “enemies to lovers” etc. Whatever you think would draw someone in!
Thanks so much in advance!
